Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) classically presents with repetitive complex motor behavior during sleep with associated dream mentation. The diagnosis requires a history of repetitive complex motor behaviors and polysomnographic demonstration of REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) or capturing dream enactment behaviors. RSWA is best evaluated in the chin or flexor digitorum superficialis muscles. The anterior tibialis muscle is insufficiently accurate to be relied upon solely for RBD diagnosis. RBD may present with parkinsonism or cognitive impairment or may present in isolation. Patients should be monitored for parkinsonism, autonomic failure, or cognitive impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream enactment. The International RBD Study Group developed the RBD Symptom Severity Scale (RBDSSS) to assess symptom severity for clinical or research use. We assessed the psychometric and clinimetric properties of the RBDSSS in participants enrolled in the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) Consortium for RBD. METHODS NAPS participants, who have polysomnogram-confirmed RBD, and their bedpartners completed the RBDSSS (participant and bedpartner versions). The RBDSSS contains 8 questions to assess the frequency and severity/impact of (1) dream content, (2) vocalizations, (3) movements, and (4) injuries associated with RBD. Total scores for participant (maximum score = 54) and bedpartner (maximum score = 38) questionnaires were derived by multiplying frequency and severity scores for each question. The Clinical Global Impression Scale of Severity (CGI-S) and RBD symptom frequency were assessed by a physician during a semistructured clinical interview with participants and, if available, bedpartners. Descriptive analyses, correlations between overall scores, and subitems were assessed, and item response analysis was performed to determine the scale's validity. RESULTS Among 261 study participants, the median (interquartile range) score for the RBDSSS-PT (participant) was 10 (4-18) and that for the RBDSSS-BP (bedpartner) was 8 (4-15). The median CGI-S was 3 (3-4), indicating moderate severity. RBDSSS-BP scores were significantly lower in women with RBD (6 vs 9, p = 0.02), while there were no sex differences in RBDSSS-PT scores (8 vs 10.5, p = 0.615). Positive correlations were found between RBDSSS-PT vs RBDSSS-BP (Spearman rs = 0.561), RBDSSS-PT vs CGI-S (rs = 0.556), and RBDSSS-BP vs CGI-S (rs = 0.491, all p < 0.0001). Item response analysis showed a high discriminatory value (range 1.40-2.12) for the RBDSSS-PT and RBDSSS-BP (1.29-3.47). DISCUSSION We describe the RBDSSS with adequate psychometric and clinimetric properties to quantify RBD symptom severity and good concordance between participant and bedpartner questionnaires and between RBDSSS scores and clinician-assessed global severity.

Zhang RY, Li FJ, Zhang Q, Xin LH, Huang JY, Zhao J. Causal associations between modifiable risk factors and isolated REM sleep behavior disorder: a mendelian randomization study. Front Neurol 2024; 15:1321216. [PMID: 38385030 PMCID: PMC10880103 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1321216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This Mendelian randomization (MR) study identified modifiable risk factors for isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Methods Genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets for 29 modifiable risk factors for iRBD in discovery and replication stages were used. GWAS data for iRBD cases were obtained from the International RBD Study Group. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was primarily employed to explore causality, with supplementary analyses used to verify the robustness of IVW findings. Co-localization analysis further substantiated causal associations identified via MR. Genetic correlations between mental illness and iRBD were identified using trait covariance, linkage disequilibrium score regression, and co-localization analyses. Results Our study revealed causal associations between sun exposure-related factors and iRBD. Utilizing sun protection (odds ratio [OR] = 0.31 [0.14, 0.69], p = 0.004), ease of sunburn (OR = 0.70 [0.57, 0.87], p = 0.001), childhood sunburn occasions (OR = 0.58 [0.39, 0.87], p = 0.008), and phototoxic dermatitis (OR = 0.78 [0.66, 0.92], p = 0.003) decreased iRBD risk. Conversely, a deep skin color increased risk (OR = 1.42 [1.04, 1.93], p = 0.026). Smoking, alcohol consumption, low education levels, and mental illness were not risk factors for iRBD. Anxiety disorders and iRBD were genetically correlated. Conclusion Our study does not corroborate previous findings that identified smoking, alcohol use, low education, and mental illness as risk factors for iRBD. Moreover, we found that excessive sun exposure elevates iRBD risk. These findings offer new insights for screening high-risk populations and devising preventive measures.

Abstract
Antipsychotics, tricyclic and 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors can produce dream-rendering behaviors and/or dystonic deregulation during REM sleep. Acute episodes are also seen with withdrawal from alcohol or sedative-hypnotics, and the use of tricyclic and SSRI antidepressants. In this article, we present a case of olanzapine treatment of a patient with cerebrovascular disease with psychobehavioural symptoms. The patient was an elderly patient who developed psychobehavioural symptoms after a sudden cerebral infarction. Initially, his symptoms improved when he took olanzapine (5 mg orally once/night). However, the patient subsequently developed symptoms of hypersomnia when he continued to take olanzapine, and the symptoms of hypersomnia gradually worsened as the dose of olanzapine was gradually increased. Benzodiazepines are often used to treat anomalous sleep, and clonazepam is one of the commonly prescribed drugs. In this case, the patient's abnormal sleep behavior was alleviated after treatment with clonazepam. As an atypical antipsychotic drug, olanzapine has been reported to cause abnormal sleep behavior during clinical use, and only one case has been reported in China. Clinicians should be aware that heteromorphic sleep can occur in patients treated with olanzapine.

Abstract
Objective Since its discovery as an antioxidant, melatonin has been increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential beyond sleep disturbances in neurodegenerative disorders. This study aims to evaluate efficacy of various melatonin doses, treatment durations, and formulations, in alleviating motor symptoms and sleep disturbances in Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and other databases were systematically searched to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) administrating melatonin to Parkinson's disease patients until June 10th, 2023. Outcomes including Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, were pooled and reported as mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-analysis was performed using an inverse variance random-effects model in Review Manager 5.4 software. Trial Sequential Analysis was performed to avoid false-positive results from random errors. Results Five RCTs with a total of 155 patients were included. Statistically significant reductions in UPDRS total scores were observed in groups receiving Melatonin ≥10 mg/day (MD = -11.35, 95% CI: -22.35 to -0.35, I2 = 0%, p = 0.04) and immediate release formulations (MD = -11.35, 95% CI: -22.35 to -0.35, I2 = 0%, p = 0.04). No significant effects on individual UPDRS II, III, and IV scores were observed, regardless of melatonin dosage and treatment duration. Moreover, significant improvements in PSQI scores were observed with only immediate-release melatonin formulations (MD = -2.86, 95% CI: -4.74 to -0.97, I2 = 0%, p = 0.003). Conclusion Melatonin ≥10 mg/day for a minimum duration of ≥12 weeks in immediate-release formulations consistently demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in improving motor symptom and sleep disturbances in Parkinson disease. However, further trials are warranted to investigate its impact when initiated early in the disease course to fully explore its true therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by the absence of normal muscle atonia during REM sleep, resulting in excessive motor activity while dreaming. RBD can be classified as isolated which is the strongest clinical marker of prodromal synucleinopathy, or secondary, associated with other neurological diseases, mainly Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies. The diagnosis of RBD must be systematically documented by a video polysomnography in the case of isolated RBD. PD associated with RBD may represent a distinct phenotype compared to PD without RBD, indicating a more severe and widespread synucleinopathy. Clinically, it is associated with poorer motor and cognitive performance, more severe non-motor symptoms, and faster disease progression. Imaging studies have revealed broader brain damage and significant alterations in cerebral metabolism and neurotransmission in PD patients with RBD. The management of RBD involves safety precautions and pharmacotherapy. Safety measures aim to minimize the risk of injury during RBD episodes and include creating a safe sleeping environment and separating the patient from their bed partner if necessary. Pharmacotherapy options include clonazepam and melatonin. Clonazepam must be cautiously prescribed in older patients due to potential side effects.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by elevated motor behaviors and dream enactments in REM sleep, often preceding the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). As RBD could serve as a biomarker for early PD developments, pharmacological interventions targeting α-synuclein aggregation triggered RBD could be applied toward early PD progression. However, robust therapeutic guidelines toward PD-induced RBD are lacking, owing in part to a historical paucity of effective treatments and trials. We reviewed the bidirectional links between α-synuclein neurodegeneration, progressive sleep disorders, and RBD. We highlighted the correlation between RBD development, α-synuclein aggregation, and neuronal apoptosis in key brainstem regions involved in REM sleep atonia maintenance. The current pharmacological intervention strategies targeting RBD and their effects on progressive PD are discussed, as well as current treatments for progressive neurodegeneration and their effects on RBD. We also evaluated emerging and potential pharmacological solutions to sleep disorders and developing synucleinopathies. This review provides insights into the mechanisms and therapeutic targets underlying RBD and PD, and explores bidirectional treatment effects for both diseases, underscoring the need for further research in this area.

Brain Sci 2023; 13:1202. [PMID: 37626558 PMCID: PMC10452387 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13081202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common multidimensional neurological disorder characterized by motor and non-motor features and is more prevalent in the elderly. Sleep disorders and cognitive disturbances are also significant characteristics of PD. Sleep is an important physiological process for normal human cognition and physical functioning. Sleep deprivation negatively impacts human physical, mental, and behavioral functions. Sleep disturbances include problems falling asleep, disturbances occurring during sleep, abnormal movements during sleep, insufficient sleep, and excessive sleep. The most recognizable and known sleep disorders, such as rapid-eye-movement behavior disorder (RBD), insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), restless legs syndrome (RLS), sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs), and circadian-rhythm-related sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs), have been associated with PD. RBD and associated emotional disorders are common non-motor symptoms of PD. In individuals, sleep disorders and cognitive impairment are important prognostic factors for predicting progressing neurodegeneration and developing dementia conditions in PD. Studies have focused on RBD and its associated neurological changes and functional deficits in PD patients. Other risks, such as cognitive decline, anxiety, and depression, are related to RBD. Sleep-disorder diagnosis is challenging, especially in identifying the essential factors that disturb the sleep-wake cycle and the co-existence of other concomitant sleep issues, motor symptoms, and breathing disorders. Focusing on sleep patterns and their disturbances, including genetic and other neurochemical changes, helps us to better understand the central causes of sleep alterations and cognitive functions in PD patients. Relations between α-synuclein aggregation in the brain and gender differences in sleep disorders have been reported. The existing correlation between sleep disorders and levels of α-synuclein in the cerebrospinal fluid indicates the risk of progression of synucleinopathies. Multidirectional approaches are required to correlate sleep disorders and neuropsychiatric symptoms and diagnose sensitive biomarkers for neurodegeneration. The evaluation of sleep pattern disturbances and cognitive impairment may aid in the development of novel and effective treatments for PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article provides an overview of the growing body of evidence showing bidirectional relationships between sleep and various neurologic disorders. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS Mounting evidence demonstrates that disrupted sleep can negatively impact various neurologic disease processes, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and headache syndromes. Abnormal sleep can also be a precursor to Alzheimer disease and neurodegenerative disease states such as Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Interventions to improve sleep and treat obstructive sleep apnea may play a vital role in preventing neurologic disease development and progression. ESSENTIAL POINTS Sleep disorders are common among patients with neurologic disorders. To provide comprehensive care to patients with neurologic conditions, neurologists must ask patients about sleep issues that may warrant further diagnostic testing, treatment, and sleep medicine referral when indicated.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. There is a wide range of sleep disturbances in patients with PD, such as insomnia and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (or REM behavior disorder (RBD)). RBD is a sleep disorder in which a patient acts out his/her dreams and includes abnormal behaviors during the REM phase of sleep. On the other hand, melatonin is the principal hormone that is secreted by the pineal gland and significantly modulates the circadian clock and mood state. Furthermore, melatonin has a wide range of regulatory effects and is a safe treatment for sleep disturbances such as RBD in PD. However, the molecular mechanisms of melatonin involved in the treatment or control of RBD are unknown. In this study, we reviewed the pathophysiology of PD and sleep disturbances, including RBD. We also discussed the potential molecular mechanisms of melatonin involved in its therapeutic effect. It was concluded that disruption of crucial neurotransmitter systems that mediate sleep, including norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, and important neurotransmitter systems that mediate the REM phase, including acetylcholine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, are significantly involved in the induction of sleep disturbances, including RBD in PD. It was also concluded that accumulation of α-synuclein in sleep-related brain regions can disrupt sleep processes and the circadian rhythm. We suggested that new treatment strategies for sleep disturbances in PD may focus on the modulation of α-synuclein aggregation or expression.

Abstract
Dream-enactment behavior that emerges during episodes of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep without muscle atonia is a parasomnia known as REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). RBD constitutes a prodromal marker of α-synucleinopathies and serves as one of the best biomarkers available to predict diseases such as Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies. Most patients showing RBD will convert to an α-synucleinopathy about 10 years after diagnosis. The diagnostic advantage of RBD relies on the prolonged prodromal time, its predictive power and the absence of disease-related treatments that could act as confounders. Therefore, patients with RBD are candidates for neuroprotection trials that delay or prevent conversion to a pathology with abnormal α-synuclein metabolism. The administration of melatonin in doses exhibiting a chronobiotic/hypnotic effect (less than 10 mg daily) is commonly used as a first line treatment (together with clonazepam) of RBD. At a higher dose, melatonin may also be an effective cytoprotector to halt α-synucleinopathy progression. However, allometric conversion doses derived from animal studies (in the 100 mg/day range) are rarely employed clinically regardless of the demonstrated absence of toxicity of melatonin in phase 1 pharmacological studies with doses up to 100 mg in normal volunteers. This review discusses the application of melatonin in RBD: (a) as a symptomatic treatment in RBD; (b) as a possible disease-modifying treatment in α-synucleinopathies. To what degree melatonin has therapeutic efficacy in the prevention of α-synucleinopathies awaits further investigation, in particular multicenter double-blind trials.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is the result of the loss of physiological inhibition of muscle tone during REM sleep, characterized by dream-enacting behavior and widely recognized as a prodromal manifestation of alpha-synucleinopathies. Indeed, patients with isolated RBD (iRBD) have an extremely high estimated risk to develop a neurodegenerative disease after a long follow up. Nevertheless, in comparison with PD patients without RBD (PDnoRBD), the occurrence of RBD in the context of PD (PDRBD) seems to identify a unique, more malignant phenotype, characterized by a more severe burden of disease in terms of both motor and non-motor symptoms and increased risk for cognitive decline. However, while some medications (eg, melatonin, clonazepam, etc.) and non-pharmacological options have been found to have some therapeutic benefits on RBD there is no available treatment able to modify the disease course or, at least, slow down the neurodegenerative process underlying phenoconversion. In this scenario, the long prodromal phase may allow an early therapeutic window and, therefore, the identification of multimodal biomarkers of disease onset and progression is becoming increasingly crucial. To date, several clinical (motor, cognitive, olfactory, visual, and autonomic features) neurophysiological, neuroimaging, biological (biofluids or tissue biopsy), and genetic biomarkers have been identified and proposed, also in combination, as possible diagnostic or prognostic markers, along with a potential role for some of them as outcome measures and index of treatment response. In this review, we provide an insight into the present knowledge on both existing and future biomarkers of iRBD and highlight the difference with PDRBD and PDnoRBD, including currently available treatment options.

Abstract
The paradigm of the framing of Parkinson’s disease (PD) has undergone significant revision in recent years, making this neurodegenerative disease a multi-behavioral disorder rather than a purely motor disease. PD affects not only the “classic” substantia nigra at the subthalamic nuclei level but also the nerve nuclei, which are responsible for sleep regulation. Sleep disturbances are the clinical manifestations of Parkinson’s disease that most negatively affect the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. First-choice treatments for Parkinson’s disease determine amazing effects on improving motor functions. However, it is still little known whether they can affect the quantity and quality of sleep in these patients. In this perspective article, we will analyze the treatments available for this specific clinical setting, hypothesizing a therapeutic approach in relation to neurodegenerative disease state.

Abstract
This systematic review provides supporting evidence for a clinical practice guideline for the management of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder in adults and children. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine commissioned a task force of 7 experts in sleep medicine. A systematic review was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials and observational studies that addressed interventions for the management of REM sleep behavior disorder in adults and children. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the clinical significance of critical and important outcomes. Finally, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) process was used to assess the evidence for making recommendations. The literature search identified 4,690 studies; 148 studies provided data suitable for statistical analyses; evidence for 45 interventions is presented. The task force provided a detailed summary of the evidence assessing the certainty of evidence, the balance of benefits and harms, patient values and preferences, and resource use considerations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clonazepam and melatonin are recommended as first-line treatments for isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). This study aimed to compare their efficacy and safety in REM sleep without atonia (RWA) and RBD-related symptoms. METHODS This prospective, open-label, randomized trial included patients with video-polysomnography-confirmed iRBD. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either clonazepam 0.5 mg or prolonged-release (PR) melatonin 2 mg 30 min before bedtime for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was changes in RWA on follow-up polysomnography (PSG). Secondary endpoints were changes in other PSG parameters, clinical global improvement-impression scale (CGI-I) scores, and sleep questionnaire scores. The safety endpoint was adverse events. RESULTS Of 40 patients with probable RBD considered, 34 were enrolled in the study and randomized. Visual scoring parameters of RWA indices were reduced, and automatic scoring parameters tended to be improved after clonazepam treatment but not after PR melatonin treatment. The proportion of N2 sleep was increased, and N3 and REM sleep were decreased only in the clonazepam group. The clonazepam group tended to answer "much or very much improvement" on the CGI-I more frequently than the PR melatonin group (p = 0.068). Daytime sleepiness and insomnia symptoms were reduced after PR melatonin but not after clonazepam. Depressive symptoms increased after clonazepam. Four of the patients (13.3%) reported mild to moderate adverse events, which were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION Four weeks of clonazepam, but not PR melatonin, improved RWA. RBD symptom improvement tended to be better after clonazepam than PR melatonin in exchange for increased depressive symptoms and daytime sleepiness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a potentially injurious parasomnia lacking an established treatment. Ulotaront is a trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonist with 5-HT1A receptor agonist activity that has demonstrated efficacy in patients with schizophrenia. In a single dose challenge study in humans, ulotaront 50 mg demonstrated significant REM suppressant effects. We now report post-hoc exploratory analyses designed to evaluate the effect of ulotaront on quantitative REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). METHODS Young healthy adult men (ages 19-35) were randomized to double-blind, cross-over treatment (after 7-day wash-out) with single doses of ulotaront (50 mg or 10 mg) versus placebo followed by polysomnography (PSG) on each of the nights following treatment. Quantitative RSWA was analyzed in a blinded fashion using established visual and automated methods. RESULTS Subjects received 50 mg (n = 11) or 10 mg (n = 9) of ulotaront. Treatment with ulotaront 50 mg was associated with lower RSWA (p < 0.05), with greatest RSWA reduction (vs. placebo) observed in subjects with RSWA levels above the mean on the baseline night. RSWA levels were similar between treatment with ulotaront 10 mg and placebo. CONCLUSION Treatment with ulotaront 50 mg (but not 10 mg) was associated with reductions in RSWA levels in healthy subjects, especially in subjects with higher baseline RSWA levels, providing proof-of-concept for ulotaront efficacy in reducing RSWA levels. However, whether ulotaront might have efficacy as a treatment for human RBD awaits double-blind trials with ulotaront in clinical RBD populations.

Abstract
Parasomnias, especially disorders of arousal during childhood, are often relatively benign and transitory and do not usually require a pharmacologic therapy. A relevant aspect in both nonrapid eye movement and rapid eye movement parasomnia treatment is to prevent sleep-related injuries by maintaining a safe environment. Physicians should always evaluate the possible presence of favoring and precipitating factors (sleep disorders and drugs). A pharmacologic treatment may be indicated in case of frequent, troublesome, or particularly dangerous events. The aim of this article is to review current available evidence on pharmacologic treatment of different forms of parasomnia.

Abstract
The term Lewy body dementia refers to either of two related diagnoses: dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). Clinical management of Lewy body dementia is challenging. The current treatment options focus on relieving symptoms; no disease-modifying therapies are available. There are currently no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for the treatment of DLB, and there are only a few for PDD. Cholinesterase inhibitors are shown to be beneficial in improving cognitive symptoms in Lewy body dementia. Rivastigmine was approved by the FDA to treat PDD. Donepezil was approved in Japan as a treatment for DLB. Levodopa may provide modest benefit in treating motor symptoms and zonisamide in adjunct to low-dose levodopa helps with parkinsonism. Treatment of autonomic symptoms are based on symptomatic treatment with off-label agents. Our main objective in this article is to present an overview of the current pharmacological options available to treat the clinical features of DLB and PDD. When evaluating the existing management options for Lewy body dementia, it is difficult to fully separate PDD from DLB. However, we have attempted to identify whether the cited studies include patients with PDD and/or DLB. Moreover, we have provided an overview of the current drug pipeline in Lewy body dementia. All currently active trials are in phase I or II and most are focused on disease modification rather than symptomatic treatment. Phase II trial results for neflamapimod show promising results. Due to heterogeneity of symptoms and underlying pathophysiology, there is a need for new biomarker strategies and improved definitions of outcome measures for Lewy body dementia drug trials.

Abstract
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is asynucleinopathy that results in clinical manifestation of motor and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The disease burden associated with psychosis in LBD patients is significantly higher compared to other types of dementia or even to LBD without psychosis. Effective care management processes should include consideration of de-prescribing any offending agents including anticholinergics and dopaminergic agents, followed by nonpharmacological and low risk pharmacological approach. If addition of pharmacological agents is required, consideration should be given to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, pimavanserin and atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine or clozapine. Side effects of these medications should be considered prior to selection and initiation of a medication regimen. Goals of care and functional assessment are a crucial part of the optimized care plan, given overall guarded prognosis, in the context of numerous complications observed in this population. Palliative care consultation could facilitate symptom control and timely enrollment into hospice if consistent with patient's goals.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To analyze cognitive deficits leading to unsafe driving in patients with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), strongly associated with cognitive impairment and synucleinopathy-related neurodegeneration. METHODS Twenty isolated RBD (iRBD), 10 symptomatic RBD (sRBD), and 20 age- and education-matched controls participated in a prospective case-control driving simulation study. Group mean differences were compared with correlations between cognitive and driving safety measures. RESULTS iRBD and sRBD patients were more cognitively impaired than controls in global neurocognitive functioning, processing speeds, visuospatial attention, and distractibility (p < .05). sRBD patients drove slower with more collisions than iRBD patients and controls (p < .05), required more warnings, and had greater difficulty following and matching speed of a lead car during simulated car-following tasks (p < .05). Driving safety measures were similar between iRBD patients and controls. Slower psychomotor speed correlated with more off-road accidents (r = 0.65) while processing speed (-0.88), executive function (-0.90), and visuospatial impairment (0.74) correlated with safety warnings in sRBD patients. Slower stimulus recognition was associated with more signal-light (0.64) and stop-sign (0.56) infractions in iRBD patients. CONCLUSIONS iRBD and sRBD patients have greater selective cognitive impairments than controls, particularly visuospatial abilities and processing speed. sRBD patients exhibited unsafe driving behaviors, associated with processing speed, visuospatial awareness, and attentional impairments. Our results suggest that iRBD patients have similar driving-simulator performance as healthy controls but that driving capabilities regress as RBD progresses to symptomatic RBD with overt signs of cognitive, autonomic, and motor impairment. Longitudinal studies with serial driving simulator evaluations and objective on-road driving performance are needed.

Abstract
Non-motor symptoms (NMSs) are highly prevalent throughout the course of Parkinson's disease (PD). Pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disturbances remain at the forefront of the most common NMSs; their treatment is challenging and their effect on the quality of life of both patients and caregivers detrimental. Yet, the landscape of clinical trials in PD is still dominated by therapeutic strategies seeking to ameliorate motor symptoms; subsequently, effective strategies to successfully treat NMSs remain a huge unmet need. Wider awareness among industry and researchers is thus essential to give rise to development and delivery of high-quality, large-scale clinical trials in enriched populations of patients with PD-related pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the field of pharmacological treatment strategies designed or re-purposed to target three key NMSs: pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disturbances. We focus on emerging evidence from recent clinical trials and outline some exciting and intriguing findings that call for further investigations.

Abstract
Patients with Parkinson's disease, who lose the dopaminergic projections to the striatum, are impaired in certain aspects of motor learning. Recent evidence suggests that, in addition to its role in motor performance, the striatum plays a key role in the memory of motor learning. Whether Parkinson's patients have impaired motor memory and whether motor memory is modulated by dopamine at the time of initial learning is unknown. To address these questions, we measured memory of a learned motor sequence in Parkinson's patients who were either On or Off their dopaminergic medications at the time of initial learning. We compared them to a group of older and younger controls. Contrary to our predictions, motor memory was not impaired in patients compared to older controls, and was not influenced by dopamine state at the time of initial learning. To probe post-learning consolidation processes, we also tested whether learning a new sequence shortly after learning the initial sequence would interfere with later memory. We found that, in contrast to younger adults, neither older adults nor patients were susceptible to this interference. These findings suggest that motor memory is preserved in Parkinson's patients and raise the possibility that motor memory in patients is supported by compensatory non-dopamine sensitive mechanisms. Furthermore, given the similar performance characteristics observed in the patients and older adults and the absence of an effect of dopamine, these results raise the possibility that aging and Parkinson's disease affect motor memory in similar ways.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by abnormal dream acting behavior such as vocalization and twitching related to dream content during REM sleep. The diagnosis requires polysomnography demonstrating a loss of normal skeletal muscle atonia during REM sleep. Both idiopathic RBD and secondary RBD are highly related to synucleinopathy including Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy. Almost all idiopathic RBD patients will develop synucleinopathy after a few years. Therefore, RBD may be an early marker in the progression of synucleinopathy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep disorders are the main non-motor characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD). The quality of life is significantly impacted by rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). It is not clearly evidenced in the literature that some medications can reduce the dream activities of patients with PD and RBD and improve sleep quality. And, they have side effects that may increase the severity of this disease. To further understand which medication has better efficacy and fewer adverse effects for patients with PD and RBD, it is necessary to perform a network meta-analysis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This protocol is performed accordingly to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols and the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook.A thorough literature selection will be conducted up to September 2021 using PubMed, Cochrane Library (The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) and Embase. We will not only include randomised controlled trials, but prospective, retrospective cohort, case-control, nested case-control, case-cohort, cross-sectional and case series. We will use the Cochrane Collaboration tool to assess the risk of bias. Pairwise and network meta-analyses will be conducted using the R netmeta package and Stata V.14.0. The relative ranking probability of the best intervention will be estimated using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve. Additionally, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, quality assessment and publication bias analysis will be performed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION No research ethics approval is required for this systematic review, as no confidential patient data will be used. We will disseminate our findings through publication in a peer-reviewed journal and conference presentations, and our review will support development of a BMJ Rapid Recommendations providing contextualised clinical guidance based on this body of evidence.

Abstract
The symptomatic treatment of REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is very important to prevent sleep-related falls and/or injuries. Though clonazepam and melatonin are usually considered the first-line symptomatic therapy for RBD, their efficiency has not been proven by randomized clinical trials. The role of dopamine agonists in improving RBD symptoms is controversial, and rivastigmine, memantine, 5-hydroxytryptophan, and the herbal medicine yokukansan have shown some degree of efficacy in short- and medium-term randomized clinical trials involving a low number of patients. The development of potential preventive therapies against the phenoconversion of isolated RBD to synucleinopathies should be another important aim of RBD therapy. The design of long-term, multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials involving a large number of patients diagnosed with isolated RBD with polysomnographic confirmation, directed towards both symptomatic and preventive therapy for RBD, is warranted.

Abstract
Healthy sleep is an essential physiological process for every individual to live a healthy life. Many sleep disorders both destroy the quality and decrease the duration of sleep. Thus, a convenient and accurate detection or classification method is important for screening and identifying sleep disorders. In this study, we proposed an AI-enabled algorithm for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). An AI-enabled algorithm—named a sleep disorder network (SDN)—was designed for automatic classification of four major sleep disorders, namely insomnia (INS), periodic leg movement (PLM), REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), and nocturnal frontal-lobe epilepsy (NFE). The SDN was constructed using deep convolutional neural networks that can extract and analyze the complex and cyclic rhythm of sleep disorders that affect ECG patterns. The SDN consists of five layers, a 1D convolutional layer, and is optimized via dropout and batch normalization. The single-lead ECG signal was extracted from the 35 subjects with the control (CNT) and the four sleep disorder groups (seven subjects of each group) in the CAP Sleep Database. The ECG signal was pre-processed, segmented at 30 s intervals, and divided into the training, validation, and test sets consisting of 74,135, 18,534, and 23,168 segments, respectively. The constructed SDN was trained and evaluated using the CAP Sleep Database, which contains not only data on sleep disorders, but also data of the control group. The proposed SDN algorithm for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead ECG showed very high performances. We achieved F1 scores of 99.0%, 97.0%, 97.0%, 95.0%, and 98.0% for the CNT, INS, PLM, RBD, and NFE groups, respectively. We proposed an AI-enabled method for the automatic classification of sleep disorders based on a single-lead ECG signal. In addition, it represents the possibility of the sleep disorder classification using ECG only. The SDN can be a useful tool or an alternative screening method based on single-lead ECGs for sleep monitoring and screening.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by loss of skeletal muscle atonia that can lead to dream enactment. This condition can cause harm to patients and their bed partners if appropriate safety measures are not ensured. This condition is often the initial presenting symptom in a group of complex neurodegenerative processes. Definitive diagnosis requires a thorough history and an in-laboratory polysomnogram to look for evidence of REM sleep without atonia. Treatment options are limited but consist of sleep safety measures and pharmacotherapy. Patients diagnosed with idiopathic RBD associated with alpha-synucleinopathy are likely to have progression of disease.

Abstract
NONE Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by loss of muscle atonia during rapid eye movement sleep, associated with complex motor enactment of dreams. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a relatively common sleep disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction while sleeping, which can result in hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Even though the nature of RBD and OSA is different, OSA may sometimes be accompanied by RBD symptoms. Accordingly, it is reasonable to distinguish these 2 sleep disorders in people with dream enactment behaviors. Although RBD and OSA share similar sleep phenomena, their association has yet to be elucidated. Herein we draw attention to various RBD-mimicking conditions, RBD combined with OSA, and the relationship between RBD and OSA. Furthermore, the clinical implications of OSA in neurodegeneration and the optimized management of RBD combined with OSA are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and, in particular, REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) have brought elusive nightmarish experiences to scientific scrutiny. This article summarizes a century of sleep research to examine the maladies of dreaming, their pathophysiologic significance, and management. RECENT FINDINGS Under healthy physiologic conditions, REM sleep is characterized by vivid mentation combined with skeletal muscle paralysis. The loss of REM sleep atonia in RBD results in vivid, potentially injurious dream enactment to patients and bed partners. RBD is common, affecting at least 1% of the population and is primarily caused by α-synuclein pathology of REM sleep-related brainstem neurons. The majority of patients with RBD ultimately develop a neurodegenerative syndrome such as Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy. Among patients with Parkinson disease, RBD predicts an aggressive disease course with rapid cognitive, motor, and autonomic decline. RBD is diagnosed by the presence of dream enactment episodes (either recorded or clinically recalled) and physiologic evidence of REM sleep without atonia demonstrated on polysomnography. Bedroom safety is of paramount importance in the management of RBD while pharmacokinetic options include melatonin or clonazepam. SUMMARY The injurious dream enactment of RBD is common and treatable. It is a syndrome of α-synuclein pathology with most patients ultimately developing Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or a related disorder.

Abstract
This article discusses the role that melatonin may have in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In parkinsonian patients circulating melatonin levels are consistently disrupted and the potential therapeutic value of melatonin on sleep disorders in PD was examined in a limited number of clinical studies using 2–5 mg/day melatonin at bedtime. The low levels of melatonin MT1 and MT2 receptor density in substantia nigra and amygdala found in PD patients supported the hypothesis that the altered sleep/wake cycle seen in PD could be due to a disrupted melatonergic system. Motor symptomatology is seen in PD patients when about 75% of the dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta region degenerate. Nevertheless, symptoms like rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), hyposmia or depression may precede the onset of motor symptoms in PD for years and are index of worse prognosis. Indeed, RBD patients may evolve to an α-synucleinopathy within 10 years of RBD onset. Daily bedtime administration of 3–12 mg of melatonin has been demonstrated effective in RDB treatment and may halt neurodegeneration to PD. In studies on animal models of PD melatonin was effective to curtail symptomatology in doses that allometrically projected to humans were in the 40–100 mg/day range, rarely employed clinically. Therefore, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies are urgently needed in this respect.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by dream enactment and the loss of muscle atonia during REM sleep, known as REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). RBD can result in significant injuries, prompting patients to seek medical attention. However, in others, it may present only as non-violent behaviors noted as an incidental finding during polysomnography (PSG). RBD typically occurs in the context of synuclein-based neurodegenerative disorders but can also be seen accompanying brain lesions and be exacerbated by medications, particularly antidepressants. There is also an increasing appreciation regarding isolated or idiopathic RBD (iRBD). Symptomatic treatment of RBD is a priority to prevent injurious complications, with usual choices being melatonin or clonazepam. The discovery that iRBD represents a prodromal stage of incurable synucleinopathies has galvanized the research community into delineating the pathophysiology of RBD and defining biomarkers of neurodegeneration that will facilitate future disease-modifying trials in iRBD. Despite many advances, there has been no progress in available symptomatic or neuroprotective therapies for RBD, with recent negative trials highlighting several challenges that need to be addressed to prepare for definitive therapeutic trials for patients with this disorder. These challenges relate to i) the diagnostic and screening strategies applied to RBD, ii) the limited evidence base for symptomatic therapies, (iii) the existence of possible subtypes of RBD, (iv) the relevance of triggering medications, (v) the absence of objective markers of severity, (vi) the optimal design of disease-modifying trials, and vii) the implications around disclosing the risk of future neurodegeneration in otherwise healthy individuals. Here, we review the current concepts in the therapeutics of RBD as it relates to the above challenges and identify pertinent research questions to be addressed by future work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a complex and interactive relationship between sleep and epilepsy. Sleep disorders are common in patients with epilepsy, and methods for managing sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy are limited. OBJECTIVE This review addresses the relationship among sleep, sleep disorders, and epilepsy, focusing on the management of sleep disorders in epilepsy, including some complementary and alternative therapies. METHODS The terms related to "sleep" and "epilepsy" were searched in "Pubmed" and "Cochrane Library". RESULTS Sleep stages differently affect both seizures and interictal epileptiform discharges. Seizures disrupt sleep architecture greatly, especially when occurring during sleep in the night. Insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are the most frequent types of comorbid sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy. Pharmacological agents with both anti-convulsant and sedative effects are the priorities for comorbid sleep disorders in epilepsy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most effective non-pharmacological method to improve OSA and reduce seizures. Complementary and alternative therapies such as Chinese traditional medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, yoga, neurofeedback, and acupuncture may have benefits in reducing seizures and improving sleep quality simultaneously by alleviating stress and seizure triggers; however, evidence- based therapies are still deficient. CONCLUSION Management of sleep disorders in patients with epilepsy is challenging. Large-scale randomized controlled clinical trials are in demand to guide the treatments in the future.

Abstract
NONE Dream enactment behavior commonly occurs on occasion in normal children and adults. Disruptive and frequent dream enactment behavior may come to the attention of the clinician either as the primary reason for consultation or as a prominent characteristic of a patient with other sleep disorders. Questioning patients with chronic neurologic and psychiatric disorders may also reveal previously unrecognized behavior. In the absence of sleep pathology, process of dream enactment likely begins with active, often emotionally charged dream content that may occasionally break through the normal REM sleep motor suppressive activity. Disrupted sleep resulting from many possible causes, such as circadian disruption, sleep apnea, or medications, may also disrupt at least temporarily the motor-suppressive activity in REM sleep, allowing dream enactment to occur. Finally, pathological neurological damage in the context of degenerative, autoimmune, and infectious neurological disorders may lead to chronic recurrent and severe dream enactment behavior. Evaluating the context, frequency, and severity of dream enactment behavior is guided first and foremost by a structured approach to the sleep history. Physical exam and selected testing support the clinical diagnosis. Understanding the context and the likely cause is essential to effective therapy.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the effects of sleep and sleep disturbances on the brain, particularly in relation to aging and neurodegenerative processes. Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, with growing prevalence worldwide. Sleep disorders, including sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), are among the most frequent non-motor manifestations of PD. They can substantially impair quality of life and possibly affect the course of the disease. This article reviews the etiology, implications, and management of sleep disturbances in PD, such as excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, and SDB. Also briefly explored is the potential role of sleep disorders, including SDB, in the progression of neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The French Medicine and Research Sleep Society had organized a consensus conference about sleep/wake circadian rhythms and their disorders. During this conference a subgroup of 11 sleep doctors/researchers looked specifically at the use of MEL in different pathologies. This article gives a summary of the main results of MEL therapy in some neurological diseases and insomnia approved by this consensus group. Exogenous MEL, which crosses the blood-brain barrier, has been used as a treatment in its two available forms: an immediate release form that principally shows a chronobiotic action and a long release form that mimics the physiological MEL secretion rhythm and is used to replace reduced physiological secretion. MEL secretion decreases frequently with age, mostly in elderly insomniacs and dementia patients. Results of level A studies show that MEL therapy, used as an add-on treatment, has beneficial effects in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer patients with sleep disorders in improving sleep quality and in regulating the sleep/wake rhythm. MEL has to be prescribed as early as possible and for a long period, at a dose of 2 to 5 or 10 mg. It may have a beneficial effect on cognitive function in MCI but shows no effect in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. It should be emphasized that there are no serious side effects with MEL treatment. In these diseases, light therapy used 12 hours before melatonin treatment has a positive synergic effect. In REM sleep behavior disorder, immediate release MEL should be prescribed first as its side effect profile is much better than clonazepam shortly before bedtime. MEL has a good efficacy on clinical symptoms and PSG REM sleep without atonia episodes and is well tolerated. In Parkinson disease with sleep disorders and without REM sleep behavior disorder, MEL seems to improve subjective sleep quality but no conclusions can be drawn. There is insufficient scientific proof for using MEL as a prophylactic treatment in primary headache, migraine and cluster headache. In epileptic patients, MEL can be safely used to regulate the sleep/wake rhythm and to improve insomnia but more randomized controlled studies are necessary. In primary or no-comorbid insomnia, only a 2 mg dose of slow release MEL, 1 to 2 hours before bedtime, over a period of 3 to 12 weeks, is recommended. It decreases sleep onset latency, improves quality of sleep, morning alertness and quality of life without serious side effects and without withdrawal symptoms.

Abstract
Melatonin is a natural hormone from the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. We examined the structure and physico-chemical properties of melatonin using electronic structure methods and molecular-mechanics tools. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to optimise the ground-state geometry of the molecule from frontier molecular orbitals, which were analysed using the B3LYP functional. As its electrons interacted with electromagnetic radiation, electronic excitations between different energy levels were analysed in detail using time-dependent DFT with CAM-B3LYP orbitals. The results provide a wealth of information about melatonin's electronic properties, which will enable the prediction of its bioactivity. Molecular docking studies predict the biological activity of the molecules against the coronavirus2 protein. Excellent docking scores of −7.28, −7.20, and −7.06 kcal/mol indicate that melatonin can help to defend against the viral load in vulnerable populations. Hence it can be investigated as a candidate drug for the management of COVID. Detailed quantum mechanical studies of the sleep regulating hormone melatonin Analysed the intramolecular stabilisation and nonlinear properties Excited state properties using TD-DFT formalism Compound active binds to three known novel coronavirus 2019 proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of neurodegenerative disorders in idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) patients with residual injurious symptoms (RIS) after symptomatic treatment with clonazepam and/or melatonin is unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the rate and correlates of RIS and its association with the risk of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with iRBD. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. RIS was defined by the RBD Questionnaire-Hong Kong (RBDQ-HK) as the presence of residual sleep-related injuries or potential injurious behaviors for at least once a month after at least 1 year of treatment. RESULTS A total of 15 out of 133 (11.3%) patients with iRBD (age at diagnosis = 66.5 ± 7.3 years, 77.4% male) had RIS after 2.7 years of treatment. Patients with RIS were younger at both onset and polysomnography-confirmed diagnosis of iRBD (years, mean ± standard deviation, 56.3 ± 6.9 vs. 61.8 ± 7.6, P = 0.01; 61.2 ± 4.2 vs. 67.2 ± 7.4, P < 0.001, respectively), had more severe behavioral symptoms at diagnosis (both RBDQ-HK total score and behavioral subscore, P = 0.01), and used a higher maximum dose of clonazepam (mg; median [interquartile range], 1.5 [1.0] vs. 1.0 [1.0], P = 0.01). RIS was probably associated with a higher risk of developing dementia with Lewy bodies (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 5.47 [1.71-17.46], adjusted for onset age of RBD), but not Parkinsons's disease in the follow-up. CONCLUSION RIS is not uncommon in patients with iRBD despite long-term medication treatment. An earlier onset and more severe clinical profile are associated with RIS. The prediction of RIS toward dementia with Lewy bodies but not PD suggests that RIS may probably help to identify the specific risk of different subtypes of α-synucleinopathy. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a chronic sleep condition characterized by dream enactment and loss of REM atonia. Individuals often present to clinic with complaints of injury to themselves or their bed-partner due to violent movements during sleep. RBD patients have a high risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative α-synucleinopathy diseases: over 70% will develop parkinsonism or dementia within 12 years of their diagnosis. RBD patients also exhibit accelerated disease progression and a more severe phenotype than α-synucleinopathy sufferers without RBD. The disease's low prevalence and the relatively limited awareness of the condition amongst medical professionals makes the diagnosis and treatment of RBD challenging. Uncertainty in patient management is further exacerbated by a lack of clinical guidelines for RBD patient care. There are no binary prognostic markers for RBD disease course and there are no clinical guidelines for neurodegeneration scaling or tracking in these patients. Both clinicians and patients are therefore forced to deal with uncertain outcomes. In this review, we summarize RBD pathology and differential diagnoses, diagnostic, and treatment guidelines as well as prognostic recommendations with a look to current research in the scientific field. We aim to raise awareness and develop a framework for best practice for RBD patient management.

Abstract
The rapid eye movement sleep behavioural disorder (RBD) population is an ideal study population for testing disease-modifying treatments for synucleinopathies, since RBD represents an early prodromal stage of synucleinopathy when neuropathology may be more responsive to treatment. While clonazepam and melatonin are most commonly used as symptomatic treatments for RBD, clinical trials of symptomatic treatments are also needed to identify evidence-based treatments. A comprehensive framework for both disease-modifying and symptomatic treatment trials in RBD is described, including potential treatments in the pipeline, cost-effective participant recruitment and selection, study design, outcomes and dissemination of results. For disease-modifying treatment clinical trials, the recommended primary outcome is phenoconversion to an overt synucleinopathy, and stratification features should be used to select a study population at high risk of phenoconversion, to enable more rapid clinical trials. For symptomatic treatment clinical trials, objective polysomnogram-based measurement of RBD-related movements and vocalisations should be the primary outcome measure, rather than subjective scales or diaries. Mobile technology to enable objective measurement of RBD episodes in the ambulatory setting, and advances in imaging, biofluid, tissue, and neurophysiological biomarkers of synucleinopathies, will enable more efficient clinical trials but are still in development. Increasing awareness of RBD among the general public and medical community coupled with timely diagnosis of these diseases will facilitate progress in the development of therapeutics for RBD and associated neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
After participating in this activity, learners should be better able to:• Assess the misuse potential of clonazepam• Characterize the nonmedical use of clonazepam• Identify the health problems associated with long-term use of clonazepam ABSTRACT: Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine, is commonly used in treating various conditions, including anxiety disorders and epileptic seizures. Due to its low price and easy availability, however, it has become a commonly misused medication, both in medical and recreational contexts. In this review, we aim to highlight the behavioral and pharmacological aspects of clonazepam and its history following its approval for human use. We examine the circumstances commonly associated with the nonmedical use of clonazepam and raise points of particular concern. Clonazepam, alone or in combination with other psychoactive substances, can lead to unwanted effects on health, such as motor and cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, and aggravation of mood and anxiety disorders. Prolonged use of clonazepam may lead to physical dependence and tolerance. There is therefore a need to find safer therapeutic alternatives for treating seizures and anxiety disorders. Greater awareness of its frequent nonmedical use is also needed to achieve safer overall use of this medication.

Abstract
Patient education and behavioral management represent the first treatment approaches to the patient with parasomnia, especially in case of disorders of arousal (DOA). A pharmacologic treatment of DOA may be useful when episodes are frequent and persist despite resolution of predisposing factors, are associated with a high risk of injury, or cause significant impairment, such as excessive sleepiness. Approved drugs for DOA are still lacking. The most commonly used medications are benzodiazepines and antidepressants. The pharmacologic treatment of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is symptomatic, and the most commonly used drugs are clonazepam and melatonin.
